1. INTRODUCTION
An important feature of RUSDIP is concurrent Investment Program Performance
Monitoring System (IPPMS) of various packages as they are planned
and implemented. RUSDIP has also provided for an exclusive agency
to undertake this task, with the active involvement of implementing
agencies. PPMS will be used as the principal tool to ensure that the
work at site of various packages in the Project are performed effectively
& timely conceived with specific benefits accruing to the target
groups, leading to realization of global objectives of the RUSDIP.
The PPMS seeks to go much beyond ordinary reporting table based documents
and would be based on periodic surveys & regular interaction with
implementing agencies IPIU's & DSC's to gauge the proper &
timely progress of project & finally the response of the beneficiaries
and the stakeholders. RUSDIP has engaged M/s. Tetra Tech India Ltd.
as consultant for IPPMS and firm has been mobilized from September,
2008.
2. OBJECTIVES:
One of the prime objectives of Project is to ensure that project facilities
are managed efficiently and that benefits reach to target groups to
a very large extent, the long-term success of the project will depend
on ensuring that the various packages in the Project are conceived
with specific benefits accruing to the target groups, leading to realization
of global objectives of the RUSDIP. The program will monitor the delivery
of services anticipated and measure benefits as they occur. In order
to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of benefits, various
steps are required to be taken
(i) The preparation and analysis of benchmark information;
(ii) Benefit monitoring services
(iii) To evaluate the benefits of completed project.
3. METHODOLOGY:
To achieve a correct assessment of the benefits in terms of health,
economical and social benefits resulting from the project, the IPPMS
shall be carried out by the consultants in project cities in three
phases.
Phase - I
During first four months starting from September to December 2008.
Benchmarking and base line data for projects towns under different
sectors like:
¢ Water supply, rehabilitation and expansion
